Abstract In this work, we present the fact that chondrocyte activity differs inrelation to their position in an engineered cartilage construct. Chondrocytes from porcine articularcartilage were cultured in a monolayer. (more…)
Abstract In the paper MRI measurements are used for assessment of brain tissueperfusion and other features and functions of the brain (cerebral blood flow – CBF, cerebral bloodvolume – CBV, mean transit time – MTT). Perfusion is an important indicator of tissue viability andfunctioning as in pathological tissue blood flow, vascular and tissue structure are altered withrespect to normal tissue. MRI enables diagnosing diseases at an early stage of their course. (more…)
Abstract Auscultation is an important diagnostic indicator for cardiovascularanalysis. Heart sound classification and analysis play an important role in the auscultativediagnosis. This study uses a combination of Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) and hiddenMarkov model (HMM) to efficiently extract the features for pre-processed heart sound cycles for thepurpose of classification. A system was developed for the interpretation of heart sounds acquired byphonocardiography using pattern recognition. The task of feature extraction was performed usingthree methods: time-domain feature, short-time Fourier transforms (STFT) and MFCC. (more…)
